Hip-hop artist Anik Khan to tour India
Bira 91 has announced the third edition of FreeFlow a campaign that places its focus on hip-hop and hip-hop subcultures in India and globally.
From rap to b-boying to graffiti and fashion the event aims to become the one-stop resource for all things hip-hop in India said a statement.
Drawing from his Bengali roots and his upbringing in Queens Anik has emerged as a unique voice in the hip-hop realm. He has emerged as a fresh notable talent with his first release "I Don t Know Yet" in 2015. It was his critically acclaimed 2017 EP "Kites" however that firmly cemented his presence: both in the hip-hop scene and as a voice representing "the other" in the US.
With his latest single and music video "Big Fax" he continues to spit fire at outdated immigrant stereotypes albeit with a pinch of humour and irony.
Joining him on the tour will be Monica Dogra an American musician and actress of Indian origin.
Anik and Monica will be joined by DJ MoCity here playing a unique DJ set alongside the capital-based hip-hop duo Seedhe Maut and newcomer Roy.
